natal chart

Uranus, the heavy-hitting planet ruling chaos, innovation, New Age, technology, and genius, among other things, entered the stabilizing, sensual, material and money-oriented sign of Taurus in March this year. Uranus will remain in Taurus for approximately seven years, and will undoubtedly leave a mark in its wake.

How will this affect us? Since Uranus typically makes waves, and Taurus governs earthly concerns, such as money and the sensual world, I expect most obviously that we will see big changes in the world market and financial matters. We could see a change in currencies, and we might see technology becoming even more meaningful, in terms of our everyday commerce and exchange.

Since Uranus rules technology and Taurus the senses, we may find that people are discovering and inventing ways to experience the senses through technology, perhaps through virtual reality. Uranus rules airplanes and space travel, and therefore we may see the world develop a deeper investment in outer space territories, perhaps even establishing some sort of ‘new earth base in space,’ or something of that nature.

For individuals, Uranus in Taurus means different things, depending on how it aspects the planets in one’s unique chart. During its seven year transit, Uranus in Taurus will most significantly impact the Sun Signs of Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius, Leo, and Scorpio. When and how this impact occurs will depend on when you were born, and the specific time period that the transit is most sensitive to your Sun location.

In simple terms, your natal chart is the astrological positions of the planets at the exact time you were born. No two are exactly alike, even for identical twins, because each person’s time and place of birth are different. Free chart makers are widely available online, and all you’ll need is your time and place of birth.

So, once you find yours, what do you do with it? Your birth chart is a kind of road map for life. It will spell out your strengths and weaknesses, as well as hidden dangers, behavioral patterns and potential opportunities.

Each of the planets, including the Sun and Moon, are placed in one of twelve houses (segments) of your chart, representing hours of the day. The movements of the larger planets like Jupiter and Saturn point to larger trends like work habits and societal change.

The ascendant, or sign which was on the horizon at the time of birth, is a powerful insight into one’s personality as well, so it’s helpful to know precise times. An over- or under-abundance of elements or particular Zodiac signs will also provide a mirror to the owner of the chart.

Aries – The Ram (March 21 – April 19)

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is ruled by Mars. Impetuous, hardworking and action-oriented, Aries are the first ones on the scene when it comes to adventure, daring to go where angels fear to tread. They are creative and love new endeavors, often having two or three projects going at the same time. However, because they bore easily, they don’t always finish what they start. Aries are loyal, confident, determined and forthright. They can also be rash, stubborn and impatient.

With an Aries, what you see is what you get. They are unpretentious and open. They are generally athletic and love to walk, run and hike. Like their symbol the ram, they are not afraid to hurdle steep mountains on their climb to success. They exude radiance, vitality and generally enjoy good health. Because Aries rules the head, this sign needs to watch for stress headaches, fevers, ear or eye troubles.

When I began studying Astrology, I only focused on the Sun signs, or birth signs, without acknowledging all the other planetary influences that are equally important in person’s chart. An astrological natal chart reflects the planetary alignment at the exact time we are born into the world, which makes us all incredibly unique.

If you want to understand a relationship dynamic or yourself in-depth, a professional astrologer can break down the strengths and challenges of the situation using astrological data. There are also free resources online that can generate a basic astrology report which summarizes each planetary aspect for you.

The planets that fall within each astrological chart and their meaning are as follows:

The recent holiday season and the dawn of a new year brought with it many musings of love and gratitude. It made me contemplate how truly blessed I am and thank my ‘lucky stars.’

To begin with, the holidays has been a very special time for me. I was able to spend some time with family members who live close by me, connect with those who are far away, and welcomed new people into my circle of friends. A beautiful new baby girl was also born into the family. The children and young people in my family are all original and smart, and my family is continuing the tradition of passing our knowledge to them. I feel so blessed to have these wonderful people in my life.

Looking back on 2018, I also thought of all my clients who call me for readings on Psychic Access. They are all very special beings with unique qualities and situations. As I strive to read their situations and provide the best and most coherent insights to their questions from their spirit guides, and as I consult my divination tools for more clarity, I humbly work hard to give them the honest, truthful answers that will help them the most. I feel blessed that they choose me to read for them.

Astrology fans are often familiar with the general traits of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. For example, we may know our best friend is headstrong because she is Aries, or we might have a moody Cancer parent, or a wisecracking Sagittarius coworker. But how well do we really know the deeper characteristics of each sign?

Each sign has, for example, a hidden side – and it is not just signs such as Gemini or Pisces, which we often associate with duality. Plus, each person’s natal or birth chart is unique! No two charts are alike, just as no two people are exactly alike.

The Fire signs are stereotyped as confident go-getters, who know exactly what they want from life and are born leaders. However, Aries, as the first sign of the Zodiac, seems confrontational to some, but can be sensitive and even childlike. Think of the charging ram versus the meeker sheep. Leo the lion comes across as egotistical and uncaring, putting everyone else below her, but she is also the protector of her pride and makes an excellent parent and confidante. And Sagittarius is literally of two worlds: the horse (animal) side symbolizing wild abandon and humor, and the human, philosophical part which is serious-minded and appreciates deeper meaning.

When you have decided to contact a psychic for guidance and advice, there are several things you can do to ensure that you get the most out of your reading and make it a pleasant experience.

First and foremost, it is important to be open to the experience and the information that you are going to be presented with. If you are wanting your reader to tell you only want you want to hear, instead of what you are meant to hear, you will be doing yourself a great disservice.

It is further recommended that you book the appropriate amount of time with your reader. Wanting to ask a long list of questions about complex life issues, and expecting simple, bullet answers in just a few minutes, is unrealistic and impractical. Make sure to allow enough time to meet your expectations.
